Therefore, once a communication has been issued by the organisers, it is the responsibility of the runner to check their email to be aware of said communication.
Likewise, athletes expressly undertake to follow the instructions and restrictions imposed on them in agreement with the health management of the event.
Article 2: Regulations
The 46th Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich, an urban foot race of 42,195 metres, will be open to all those who wish to take part, whether federated or not. Foreign athletes who comply with RFEA and World Athletics regulations can participate, as long as they are over 18 years of age on the day of the race. The course, which is in an urban setting and on asphalt, is approved by the AIMS/RFEA, and all the kilometre points are indicated with a signpost. The race is included on the International Calendar of the RFEA and the AIMS, and has been awarded a Platinum Label by World Athletics.

The Valencia Marathon is planning to start the race in nine waves in order to improve the comfort and safety of all the runners, based on the order of the accredited times.

The official maximum time limit for completing the race is 5h30:00. Any runner arriving at km 25 after 12:57 p.m. on 6 December 2026 will have to hand in their bib, abandon the race and/or get into the sweeper car as they exceed the projection for the overall limit set by the organisers for the end of the race (the aforementioned 5:30 hours, after taking into account the staggered start times for the waves).
All runners who register with the aim of finishing the marathon in under 3h20:00 must provide proof of their previous best time in a marathon, half marathon, 15K or 10K in the last 3 years, either through the procedure set up on the registration website or at the request of the organisers
Times and Boxes
Article 4: Box
The only data the organisers will take into account when assigning the categories will be those provided by the runner themselves on their registration form.
For organisational or safety reasons, and always in agreement with the athlete, the organisation reserves the right to change, under exceptional circumstances, the box assigned to a runner and also to close the process for changing from one box to another. A change will be made as long as the capacity of the box allows it.
For accreditation of the starting box, we will verify the data collected at the time of your registration. Some times are automatically verified by comparing them with your results from previous editions of our races (Valencia Marathon, Valencia Half Marathon). In other cases, we will ask you for additional information with a URL or link to an approved race in which you have participated with an equivalent time (previous ranking in 10K, 15K, half marathon or marathon in the last three years; 2024-2026).
Article 5: Changing box / start wave
The organisers will allow the start box for the 2025 edition, as long as the capacity of the box allows it, to be changed free of charge in the self-management area, provided the change is made until 6 November and the link proving the improved time is accredited, through the registration website in the Runner’s Area section “Request a change of Box”.
From 8 November, once the bibs have been printed, it will be possible to change the box by paying 25 euros to cover reprinting and management costs until 26 November 2026 (inclusive).
Each runner commits to accepting their starting box at the time of registration and accepts responsibility for providing proof of their personal best records. Therefore, the athlete accepts that the box or starting wave selected at the time of registration will be the one that corresponds to them. With the exceptions provided for in the preceding paragraphs.
Registration and prices
Article 6: Registration
6.1 Maximum capacity and prices
There will be a maximum of 36,000 bibs numbers available.

Registration will be closed when the maximum quota of 36,000 registered runners has been reached, thus guaranteeing a sustainable increase in the number of runners, a quality experience for the runners and the best possible safety conditions.
The organisers will set up a waiting list through the official website to fill any vacancies that may arise due to runners dropping out, at a price of €200 per registration.(plus €5 for the Day Licence).

6.3 Registrations will be made through the website
https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/ (as long as numbers are available).
The website https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/ managed by S.D. Correcaminos is the only official and authorised online distributor for registration in the race, so, under no circumstances is registration or the purchase of bibs through different platforms recommended.
The organisers are not responsible for the reliability, veracity and/or suitability of registrations made through third parties, nor do they assume any obligation regarding the availability of places, stock and/or price.
No guarantee is given regarding the recognition of any rights relating to the guarantee, withdrawal, exchange and/or any other rights recognised to the registered persons if the products are not the official ones or have not been obtained through S.D. Correcaminos and/or the website https://tickets.valenciaciudaddelrunning.com/.
The above is without prejudice to registrations made through official tour operators and included in travel packs, which in any case will redirect to the aforementioned website for the purpose of completing the registration directly on the authorised distribution platform.
6.4 Sub-elite bib status will apply to athletes who apply with times under 30:00 in a 10k or 10,000m race, 1h06:00 in a half marathon, or 2h20:00 in a marathon run in the last three years (2024, 2025 and 2026), and under 35:30, 1h17:30 or 2h45:00 for women and provided they have been achieved in events on the official World Athletics calendar on approved courses.

Elite race numbers will not be contracted or given to athletes who have had serious doping sanctions from World Athletics, regardless of whether they have served their sanction.
6.5 If you need to make any change or modification to your registration, you have until November 6 to do so. From November 7 to November 26, any modification to the registration or associated services will be considered late and will incur a €25 fee for administrative and bib reprinting costs.
From November 27 onwards (inclusive), no changes will be allowed, either through the online service or at the Expo 42K Feria Valencia.
Article 7: Change the name or holder of the bib/chip
7.1 It will be possible to change the name or holder of the bib/chip through our registration platform in the Runner’s Area section “Request change of owner”.
It is the only method to make a change or transfer of legal holder.
You can legally transfer your number and place in the race to another runner through our platform. The new participant will formalize a new registration with his/her data. The cost of the new registration will be the price of the section in force at the time of the change of holder. The refund of the original registration will be approved when the new registration is correctly formalized.
Registrations obtained through the ballot that are canceled due to a change of participant (from February 1 onwards) will be offered to people on the waiting list who did not secure a place in the ballot.
The refund will be processed using the same payment method used for the registration, within a period of 30 days.
Dates and administration fees for changing the registered participant:
Until November 6 (inclusive): €5 as an administration fee, to be paid by the runner giving up the registration and deducted from the amount to be refunded.
From November 7 to November 26: €25 as an administration and bib/chip reprinting fee (provided that the Organization authorizes the change).
The organisers reserve the right to modify the way in which the change is made.
NOTICE: Any registration code received for a change of participant may not be used for an individual giveaway or through a brand or third party. The Organization reserves the right to cancel it.
7.2 For legal and sporting reasons, but above all for safety reasons, it will not be possible to transfer the bib to another runner without following the process foreseen for this purpose and without obtaining the organiser’s agreement. Any runner who impersonates another person will be required to leave the race.
In the event that the organisers become aware of this circumstance prior to the race, the bib that has been sold or transferred without authorisation will be disqualified, and the owner will not be open to participation in the race. In addition, given the risk run by those people who wear a bib without the knowledge of the organisers and the distortion produced in the rankings, the organisers may note down the details of the person who gives or sells a bib, preventing their registration for the following 4 years, and, where appropriate, inform other marathon, half marathon and 10K organisations of their actions. In the case of athletes who are members of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation (RFEA) and the Comunitat Valenciana Athletics Federation, their conduct may also be reported so that, if appropriate, the corresponding measures may be taken.
7.3 The organisers reserve the right to prevent the athlete’s registration in the future and to inform other races of the procedure taken for those athletes disqualified for not having completed the entire 42,195 metres of the course. Likewise, the organisers reserve the right to take legal action against those who do not comply with these regulations.
7.4 Please note that you must comply with the race rules. The following actions may lead to your disqualification from the event:
Running with another person’s bib number.
Altering or tampering with the bib.
Entering the finish line carrying a child or holding a child’s hand.

Urinating outside the toilets provided by the Organization.
Failing to follow the instructions of the Organization, officials, security forces, and medical services.
Engaging in any form of unsportsmanlike conduct, especially if it affects other runners.
Any refund of the registration fee authorized by the Organization will be processed using the same payment method used for the original registration, within a period of 30 days.
Article 8: Withdrawal due to injury and returns
Under no circumstances can the registration be transferred to the following year.

If the Refund Insurance was taken out at the time of registration, you can request a refund of 80% of the amount, excluding the insurance fee, for any reason, until 29 November 2026.

The amount of the insurance fee will not be returned, nor any management expense or duplication previously caused.

15.1 The bibs/chips issued by the organisers are personal and non-transferable, and must be placed on the chest without tampering or folding. The control chip is also personal and non-transferable. Failure to comply with this article will be grounds for disqualification.
The organisers will not admit runners who are not registered or who run without a bib or with a bib that is not an unofficial one for this edition of the race. The organisers will prevent them from accessing the race in defence of the rights of those who are registered in accordance with the regulations. [Elite or World Athletics Label athletes who register as amateur runners will also not be admitted. The participation of all elite or World Athletics Label category athletes will have to be expressly agreed to by the organisers.]
For the safety of the runners, unauthorised vehicles will not be allowed access. The race judges and the organisers reserve the right to disqualify any offender who, if any irregularity is detected in any runner; (i) does not wear a visible bib, tampers with it and/or transfers it to another runner,(ii) alters the data provided to the organisers or the referee with respect to what appears on their ID card or federation card, (iii) does not complete the entire course, shows poor physical condition, does not provide the organisers with the required documentation, fails to comply with any other rule contemplated by the FACV, RFEA and World Athletics Regulations, accesses the course and/or accesses the finish line of the Valencia Marathon.
It will be compulsory for federated members to compete in their corresponding club’s kit, and they may be penalised if they do not do so.
Disqualified runners will not be eligible for prizes or trophies.
15.2 Given the serious damage that this would be caused to the organisers and the other runners in the race, in the event of access to the race that infringes the established access conditions or of any irregularity being committed, the organisers reserve the right to take the appropriate measures, in accordance with applicable legislation. Accordingly, appropriate civil, criminal or administrative proceedings will be instituted to hold the offender liable.
The irregularities that will give rise to the initiation of such actions include (i) not being registered for the race and therefore not having a bib/chip to participate in the race; (ii) running with the bib/chip of a third party (without having made the change of ownership or carrying it concealed); (iii) running with a bib/chip that does not correspond to that of the race; (iv) running with a falsified bib/chip (photocopied document or one that imitates the bib). This list is given by way of example and is not exhaustive, and there may be other irregularities which may give rise to legal action on the part of the organisers.
Both those who commit such irregularities and those who assist in them being carried out will be identified as “offending runners“.
Those runners who are identified as “offending runners” by the Organisers on the day of the race will be removed, identified and expelled by the race security personnel, in the exercise of their powers, and identification data will be obtained from them; photographs, etc., which will be used for the purpose of taking the corresponding legal action.
In the event that the infringement becomes known after the event has taken place, appropriate action will be taken as soon as the infringement becomes known.
The “offending runners” will receive notifications and/or summonses for the proceedings in which their possible liabilities will be judged, so they can take part in said proceedings.
Article 16: Route
The route will be marked with a line and all the kilometres will also be marked in accordance with World Athletics standards.
There will be liquid refreshments at kilometres 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 32, 35, 37.5 and 40, approximately, as well as one final liquid and solid station at the finish line.
Article 17: Medical Services
Medical services will be located along the route, as well as in the start and finish area. All registered runners are obliged to fill in details on the back of the bib including their name, surname, telephone number in case of emergency, whether they have any medical problem (allergy, special care, etc.) or are under any specific treatment, as well as their blood group.
Article 18: Vehicles authorised
The only vehicles authorised to follow the race will be those designated by the organisers. It is totally forbidden to follow the runners on motorcycle, bicycle, skates or any other wheeled vehicle. The local police and race judges will remove them from the course to avoid accidents.
Article 19
The organisers accept no responsibility for any damage, harm or injury that participants in this event may suffer or cause to third parties, although they do have Accident and Civil Liability Insurance that will cover the incidents inherent to the event.
Article 20: Complaints
Complaints must be made orally to the arbitrator, no later than 30 minutes after officially communicating the results. The decision of the arbitrator is not subject to appeal.
Article 21 – Cancellation or suspension of the race for reasons beyond the control of the race Organisers:
In the event that, for reasons beyond the organiser’s control, the race is suspended or the authorities do not authorise it for the date initially planned, the Organisers will notify the participants as far in advance as possible, indicating the new date of the event (which may be either in 2026 or 2027). Runners may opt for a refund if they do not wish to participate in the event on the new date. In this case, they will be informed how to proceed.
Health limitations
The event will comply with the health regulations in force in the Valencian Community at the time it is to be held. The Organisers will communicate this to all athletes, so that they can be aware of the new requirements and comply with them.
Under extraordinary circumstances, if the Organisers receive from the Health Authorities a communication prohibiting the race from being held with the initially planned number of participants, the Organisers will establish a draw to randomly select the participants until the new permitted number of participants is reached, giving the others the opportunity to recover 100% of their registration fee.
However, the Organisers reserve the right not to hold the event in the event that the number of participants allowed by the authorities is substantially reduced compared to that initially planned or if conditions are imposed that make it unfeasible to hold the event.

The purpose of this transfer will be to negotiate with the insurance company for the compulsory accident and civil liability insurance, as well as for the management of the day licence and the popular ranking of road races. Likewise, the data will be transferred to the main collaborator, the Trinidad Alfonso Foundation (TAF), to facilitate efficient collaboration between the latter and the organiser. In any event, and as established by the Data Protection Act, the data subject may in the future exercise their rights of access, rectification, deletion, objection, limitation and portability by writing or sending an email to the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation.

Article 22
By registering, all participants declare that they are aware of and accept these Rules and the Disclaimer and Data Protection Policy. In case of doubt, the judgement of the organisers will prevail. Specifically, on their registration, the runners sign the following declaration:
“I am participating in the race on a completely voluntary basis and I consciously accept the difficulty of the race, taking into account its distance and technical difficulty, for which I declare that I have sufficient technical knowledge, experience and physical and psychological condition to cope with the characteristics of the race.
I declare that I am in optimum health to take part in the 46th Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso, having the total certainty that I am physically and psychologically fit to do so and having passed the relevant medical check-ups, ruling out any illness, pathology, injury or any other health problem that might make my participation inadvisable. In the event of any change in my state of health at the time of the race, which would pose a risk to me or to the health of the other participants, I undertake not to take part in the race.
I also accept that I must comply with any requirements imposed by the Organisers in relation to health limitations.
During the competition, I will cooperate as far as possible with the organisers in order to avoid personal accidents and I will behave appropriately, without endangering my health or that of others. I agree to comply with the regulations set forth in the 46th VALENCIA MARATHON TRINIDAD ALFONSO ZURICH 2026 REGULATIONS, safety protocols and indications established by the organisers.
Taking into account all of the above, I exempt the organisers, sponsors, collaborators and/or other participating institutions from any responsibility for any accident, health problems or injury that I may suffer before, during and/or after the sporting event, renouncing any legal action against any of the aforementioned entities.
I also authorise the organisers to make use of photos, videos and any other audiovisual material in which I may appear for publicity purposes, and accept the publication of my name in the race ranking, in the media and/or on the Internet, without expecting any payment, compensation or retribution for this concept”
Notice: The organisers recommend that runners undergo a medical check-up prior to the race, all participants accepting the risk derived from the sporting activity.
Article 23
23.1 By registering for the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich, the participants give their consent that both the race organiser, S.D. Correcaminos, as well as its main partner, the Trinidad Alfonso Mocholí Foundation of the Comunitat Valenciana, as well as any other sponsor and/or contributor to the event, whether by themselves or through third party companies, may store, process and use their name, results, as well as their image collected during the event by means of photographs, videos, live tracking or estimation of position on the course during the event on the official app, or any other medium, and may process for exclusively sporting, promotional or commercial purposes their personal data, as well as their image during the event obtained by means of photographs, videos, etc. by means of any device (internet, advertising, etc.) and without any time limit.
23.2 The list of results will be published on the website.
23.3 The LiveTracking presented through the official race app can be viewed by any user who downloads the application for free, which is available on Google Play and the Apple Store. This option allows participants in the race to be tracked in real time by name or bib number. This is a functionality offered to runners so that family, friends and the general public can locate the runner on the course.By default, the tracking is performed through the runner’s chip that connects with sensors that are distributed along the route.
Between each sensor, the application takes the average speed of the runner to estimate their location, so the location may not be completely accurate during these periods. The app also offers the option of activating GPS tracking in case the race is run while carrying a mobile device. In this case, the tracking will be as accurate as the app allows.Through the “LiveTracking Privacy Info” option on the app, a runner can configure this functionality, so that the visualisation can be (i) Public: any user can see where they are by entering their name or bib number; (ii) With a pin code, only users to whom the runner provides the pre-established pin can track them; (iii) Hidden: no one can track them.
Neither the organisers, nor the sponsors, nor the main partner can be held responsible for any possible errors in location involving the app.

Info Registration 2026
In 2026, the option to purchase the Valencia Half Marathon + Valencia Marathon pack will NOT be available.
The organisers of the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich are introducing a new registration process and form for the 2026 event, incorporating a new draw system or ‘ballot’ to give the same opportunities to all the runners who want to participate in future races and avoid the platform becoming overloaded and the resulting dissatisfaction or frustration this can cause for popular races, such as this one.
This will allow the preferential loyalty period (4 days) to be maintained for participants in the 2025 race who want to repeat in 2026. Subsequently, registration will then be open to the general public for the draw or ‘ballot’ for the remaining places available until all the 36,000 race bibs have been allocated.
2026 Registration Dates and Deadlines
| 7 Dec | Valencia Marathon 2025 |
| 11 – 15 Dec. | Loyalty period (4 days) |
| 16 – 26 Dec. | Ballot registration |
| Pte. | Conducting the draw |

Registration Valencia Marathon 2026 FAQ
Anyone who has an active registration for the Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich 2025 (i.e. anyone who registered and has not cancelled their registration due to injury, change of bib holder or refund) can register for the event in 2026 during the 4-day preferential period.
If you do not register during this phase, you will still be able to register afterwards in the draw or ‘ballot’ along with everybody else, but you will lose the guarantee of having a reserved place in the first phase.
To sign up you will need to enter the ID or passport number, date of birth, email and full name of the person who wants to run.
These details cannot be changed later in the registration process. This is in order to avoid the situation where a runner who is chosen in the draw can give their place to another runner.
Registrations for the ballot will open on December 16 at 11:00 am (Spanish time) and will close on December 26 at 10:59 am (Spanish time).
Yes, you can enter the draw/ballot with up to three people if you want to run with a family member or friend, but you will also need to provide their personal details (full name, ID or passport number, date of birth and email address), which cannot be modified either.
Once you have completed the registration, the people you signed up will receive an email and must confirm that they wish to enter the ballot.
This way, you will all be assigned a consecutive registration number, and this will allow—under the same conditions as all individual entries—that if your registration number is selected, each of you can complete your individual entry and run as a group.
If you enter as a group, your chances in the draw are exactly the same as if you enter individually.
No, but when you register for the draw or ‘ballot’ you will need an active bank card on which a 5 euro retention will be made for 15 days.
After this period, the amount will be automatically released. This means that we will not charge you anything for registration in the ‘ballot’ regardless of whether you get a place in the draw to register in the race or not.
If you sign up as a group, a €5 hold will be applied to the person completing the registration and to each group member once they confirm that they wish to be part of the group.
The data cannot be modified later in the registration process, in order to prevent a runner from signing up using the personal details of multiple people. Registration will be free of charge, but only one entry per person is allowed.
If the organization detects more than one registration, it will proceed to cancel all registrations from that person, who will lose any chance of participating in the draw.
Yes, after the official draw or “ballot” takes place, which will happen before a notary, the organisers will communicate by email to all participants whether they have been awarded a place to register for 2026.
Those who have not been lucky will have to wait for their chance by registering on the Waiting List in case of future cancellations or take advantage of the race bibs held by the official agencies or tour operators authorised by the event.
Once you have received the email confirming that you have been chosen in the draw, if you do not then complete and formalise your registration for the Valencia Marathon within 12 days the reserved race bib will be cancelled, and you will lose the guarantee of being able to run in the event.
The place will be allocated to a person from the Waiting List (according to the order in which they registered) at the end of this 12-day period to complete the maximum quota of 35,000 bibs.
Yes, both the bibs purchased during the loyalty period and those obtained through the ballot will allow a name change starting on February 1.
Registrations obtained through the ballot that are cancelled due to a change of holder will be offered to people on the waiting list who did not obtain a spot in the ballot.
Terms and conditions for 2026 registration
- Preferential registration phase
To purchase a race number for the 2026 edition of the Valencia Marathon, there will be a preferential period of 4 days from 11 to 15 December for all runners who purchased a race number in their name for the 2025 edition and have not renounced it (either due to injury, change of owner, use of the refund service, etc.).2. Registration for the ballot
If there are still race numbers available once this preferential period has ended, a registration period will open on 16 December for the ballot, so that people who do not already have a race number can apply to purchase one, provided they meet the requirements to participate in the race (see rules). The registration period for the ballot will end on 26 December 2026 at 11 a.m (Spanish Time).
If more people register than there are race numbers available, a draw will be held before a notary, who will draw a single winning registration number, followed by the rest of the winning numbers in sequential order until the number of available race numbers is filled.
You must register to participate in the draw, which is free of charge, but when registering for the draw, you will need an active bank card, from which €5 will be held for a maximum of 15 days. After this period, the amount will be automatically released, regardless of the result of the draw. Without the €5 deposit, you will not be considered registered in the draw.
Once you have completed the form, you will receive your raffle entry number at the email address you provided.
Registration for the raffle is non-transferable. You can register as an individual or as a group (up to three people), but in all cases you will need to fill in the necessary personal details and you will receive one entry number per person.
Only one registration per person is possible. If it is found that a person has attempted to register for the draw on several occasions, with several emails, etc., that person will be expelled from the draw and will not be entitled to participate in it.
The details entered when registering for the draw cannot be changed during the race number purchase process.
3. Registration deadlines and dates after the draw
Once the draw has taken place, the beneficiaries will have 12 days to purchase their race number via the link they will receive in their email, which will already include the same details they used when registering for the draw.
If the beneficiaries of the draw do not purchase their race number within the specified period, they will lose the opportunity to register with this guaranteed place, and the places that have not been filled will be assigned, in order of registration, to those who have registered on the official waiting list for the race, which will be opened for this purpose.
Except for what is indicated here, the sale of the race bib and participation in the event will be subject to the provisions set out in the Race Regulations.
Ballot conditions
We have introduced this ballot system with the aim of providing the runners who wish to participate in the race with a clear and transparent system and in order to prevent unfair practices. We have therefore implemented some rules that you should bear in mind:
- You cannot apply to enter this ballot if you have already registered for the race.
- We will not permit duplicates of personal data or email addresses. Only one entry per person is permitted. For group registrations(maximum three people) different email addresses must be registered, one for each participant/participation.
- If you provide personal data belonging to third parties during the registration process for the ballot, you must ensure that you have their prior consent for their data to be processed by the race organisers for the purposes of managing the ballot and, where applicable, subsequent registration. The authorisation will be made available to the organisers.
- If you have already registered for the draw (either individually or as part of another group) and then complete a new registration (either individually or in a different group), the previous registration(s) will be automatically cancelled. This ensures that you only have one chance in the ballot , which is based on your most recent registration.
- The details you provide at the outset will be the details we use to register you. No changes will be permitted (except for reasonable requests such as typographical errors or changes to passport numbers due to expiry).
- We will carry out checks using IP detection tools, data patterns and duplication software and if we detect any possible infringements, we will cancel your participation.
- In order to ensure interest in participating in the race, when you apply to enter the ballot, €5 will be held on your credit card for 15 days. After this period, the amount will be automatically released. This means that we will not charge you anything for registering for the ballot. If you register before those 15 days are up, you will pay the full amount because the financial institution automatically unlocks the funds at the end of that period.
- If you are selected in the ballot and do not use the registration code within the specified period, the code and your application will be automatically cancelled.
Once you have completed the registration process, you will be able to check your entry number for the ballot and your status, or cancel your registration.

Aid after the flooding
On 29 October 2024, a low-pressure storm caused flooding that ravaged the province of Valencia, leaving more than 200 people dead and many villages affected in a disaster zone.
The Valencia Marathon Trinidad Alfonso Zurich, which took place on 1 December, launched the ‘Valencia runs 4 Valencia’ campaign to help the affected towns and people rebuild their infrastructure and their lives.
In total, the Valencia Marathon raised more than 1,000,000 euros through donations mainly received in one of three ways:
Organisers: SD Correcaminos
The race organisers themselves pledged to donate 3 euros for each of the 28,590 participants who reached the finish line. However, SD Correcaminos then made an extra effort to raise even more money, increasing this initial figure to 227,000 euros.
Runners and supporters
A bib number zero was created so that runners and supporters of the event could donate the amount they wished through the authorised platform.
In total, 205,000 euros were raised from individual donations, but also from transfers from running clubs around the world and even event tour operators.
The donations made through the platform included €15,062 donated by HOSBEC, which pooled the contributions from the hotel sector; €28,590 (one euro per finisher) donated by the race sponsor Patatas Meléndez; and €4,000 in prize money originally destined for the ‘Shopkeepers Also Run’ campaign carried out in conjunction with the Association of Historic Centre Shops, which decided to contribute this money to the ‘Valencia runs 4 Valencia’ fund; as well as €3,000 from the prize money for the Running Fallero competition, which the Trinidad Alfonso Foundation chose this year to donate to the six commissions on the Valencia Central Fallera Committee in the city’s worst affected districts.
New Balance
The third way was the donation from New Balance. The event’s sporting brand threw itself into helping those affected in the province of Valencia and pledged to donate a total amount of more than 600,000 euros.
All of this contribution from New Balance has been destined, through an agreement with the town council, to completely rebuild the synthetic surface and the facilities around the athletics track in Guadassuar. In addition, the Valencia Marathon sports brand also donated 40,000 euros to Bombers pel Món.
Destination of the donations
The focus of the donations is on the running schools and clubs, as well as the municipalities, affected by the flooding for the reconstruction of their sports facilities. Specifically, an agreement was signed with the Valencian Community Athletics Federation, through which more than 62,000 euros have been given to the federated athletics clubs in Algemesí, Torrent, Catarroja and L’Om de Picassent. Also more than 7000 euros has been donated to the clubs in Aldaia and Benetússer, which have athletics schools.
Similarly, more than 4,800 euros were given to CEIP Lluís Vives school in Massanassa (including a contribution from the Association of Historic Centre Shops) to purchase a completely set of new sports equipment for the school, which collapsed and whose pupils had to move to the former teacher training college in Valencia.
In addition, an agreement has been signed with Llombai Town Council for the repair of the changing rooms and the outside area around its athletics track for 60,000 euros and another agreement has also been signed with Requena providing 12,000 euros to repair its track. Finally, another significant sum is planned for the restoration of the track in Torrent, with the renovation of the synthetic track around the entire ring along with the long jump area and the high jump and pole-vaulting mats, for a value of more than 237,000 euros.
